one of MTAA’s fav artist and Pirated Movie soundscaper Fritz Welch has a new show. Here is his email invite. Check it.

Please visit the opening reception of Slouching Towards Bethlehem @The Project, 37 w. 57th st. 3rd floor. thursday july 29th 6-8pm. it is a groupshow curated by none other than Jeff Uslip and features works by many people including Hermes Trismegistus, George Carlin and Bob Ross. i will be showing a new sculpture/installation entitled The Overlook (please read statement below).

The Overlook is a walldrawing in glossy silhouette, by memory, of the two family homes designed by the artist’s father. Both buildings employed solar power and other utopian design concepts but failed financially causing bankruptcy and endless court litigation. At the point where basements become imagined tunnels, a precariously hanging sculpture is forced out from the wall. It includes a not-to-scale “model” of the artist’s Brooklyn home (currently under eviction caused by yuppie expansionism) flooded by a winter thaw, evoking “the elevator door releasing torrents of blood” scene in The Shining. This Schwarzkogler-esque accident brings flowing fluid from roof to ceiling to floor and finally to sound out on the head of a drum strategically placed underneath, playing Ringo’s parts of the Plastic Ono Band’s song “We All Shine On”. permanent link to this post
